Hmmm I'm new around here, but aren't you maybe just a feeew months early to be asking that already? lol I'm just playin'! That's what I call planning ahead! I wish I had done a bit of that, but I'm ok now!

AT will be closed for repairs in 08! Check back in 09!
See ya when I get there.
I'll be on Springer March 1st. See you there!
When the 2007 thread came up, I immediately had my date in mind and couldn't wait to post. If anything, the sooner you know the better chance you have to spend time getting the gear you need and read all these great threads and articles on WB and planning a first rate thru.
To the 2008ers - have fun planning this year!!!! And be thinking of us 2007ers.
April 5 here. Don't like the cold.
Hopefully I'll see you out there!
I'm planning on starting the beginning of March from Springer in '08 as well!
I am planning on the 8th, may catch up to you at some point as I am only a week behind you.
Well, anyone else plan on leaving as late as me? I didn't think April was that late.
SGT Rock plans an early April start date. I believe he said around the 4th. I was sorta listening at the time...
I shall be out there, i was planning on leaving in mid feb, the excitement of it all.
In 2006 I started April 5th. The first time I heard I was never going to finish on time was from a couple of day hikers I ran into on Memorial Day. From that point on, I heard it repeated all the way up the trail (always from townies and dayhikers) until I summited on October 13th. Class I day. Got to the point that when people asked me when I was going to finish I replied "no sooner than I have to"
Next time I'll start earlier and finish later. Enjoy your hike.
Peace
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
